Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta cooks, warm the Roasted Onion & Garlic Infused Olive Oil Blend and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring so it stays fragrant and does not brown.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the parmesan until the sauce looks smooth and glossy. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated. Use a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce and help it cling to the noodles.
- Finish with parsley, taste once more, and serve right away with extra parmesan at the table.
Notes
Freshly grated parmesan gives the sauce a smoother finish than pre-shredded cheese. Keep the heat gentle after the cream goes in so the sauce stays silky and the cheese melts evenly. If the sauce tightens, add a splash of reserved pasta water until it coats the noodles well.
